Answer:

a) ethanol is dehydrated by concentrated sulphuric acid to yield ethene

b) Concentrated phosphoric(V) acid, H3PO4, can be used instead of sulphuric acid

Explanation:

Ethene is prepared in the lab by heating ethanol with concentrated sulphuric acid at 170°C. The mixture contains 1:2 volume ratio of the ethanol and concentrated acid. Ethylhydrogentetraoxosulphate VI is first formed and then decomposes to yield ethene and sulphuric acid.

The overall reaction is akin to the dehydration of ethanol. As is easily seen above; this is a two stage reaction. The first stage is the formation of the ester, the second stage involves the dehydration of the ester to yield ethene. The ethene gas is passed through concentrated sodium hydroxide to remove any gaseous impurities present and then it is collected over water.

Concentrated phosphoric(V) acid, H3PO4, can be used instead of concentrated sulphuric acid as a dehydrating agent in the laboratory preparation of ethene.

valina [46]

Answer:

Mass  

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually, you plot the independent variable along the horizontal (x) axis and the dependent variable along the vertical (y) axis.

Marcia's teacher plotted the mass of the sample along the x-axis and volume along the y-axis.

The mass is the independent variable, because that is <em>what the teacher varied</em>.

The volume is the <em>dependent variable</em>, because it <em>depends</em> on the mass.

Sample number is <em>wrong</em>, because it is not a variable.

Substance is <em>wrong</em>, because all samples consist of the same substance.

Density is <em>wrong</em>, because it is constant. It is the slope of the graph.

what is the pressure, in atmospheres, of 2.97 mol h2 gas if it has a volume of 73 liters when the temperature is 298 k? 0.50 atm
Triss [41]
P x V = n x R x T

P x 73 = 2.97 x 0.082 x 298

P x 73 = 72.57492

P = 72.57492 / 73

P = 1.0 atm

hope this helps!

A naturally occurring oil co-distills with water to produce an oil/water distillate that is 20% oil by weight. If the molecular
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Partial pressure of oil = mole fraction of oil x total pressure

mole fraction of oil = mole of oil / mole of water + mole of oil

= mole of oil = mass of oil / molecular weight of oil

= 20 / 100 = .2

mole of water = 80 / 18

= 4.444

mole fraction of oil =  .2 / .2 + 4.444

= .2 / 4.644

Partial pressure of oil = mole fraction of oil x total pressure

= (.2 / 4.644 ) x 760 mm

= 32.73 mm Hg .
